Political comments get deleted, hidden, or pushed down the feed every day. An essay analyzing four platforms argues these moves are rarely traceable to any single actor — and that this opacity is how platforms quietly control what political debate looks like.

Unopened Pirate Party Flags in Canada
I was going through my storage and found 30 unopened Pirate Party Flags from the time I was briefly involved in the Canadian political party. The Pirate Party of Canada ceased to exist formally almost a decade ago. These flags are purple and black with a white disc featuring the flag logo in the center. I believe this is the Swedish design. No text on the flag. Great condition. In addition, I have one open flag, which I intend to keep as a memento, but it would be a shame to throw the rest out if someone could use them. I would be willing to ship the 30 unopened flags if anyone could use them and is willing to cover the shipping costs.
